Hey Jake, I am glad you are doing great and Noah is adorable. Good luck on the new house. When did you start ICU? I have toyed with the idea, but not quite ready for it yet. I am still in womens services. Med/Surg tele. and with be tele certified and chemo certified shortly. I love it but they are short staffed and I have had to relief charge a couple of times and it scares me to death. I think you are so smart to continue with school. I wish I would have just kept going, now I think it will really be a struggle to go back. My work does not offer part-time and until they do, there is no way I can throw school on top of work. Maybe next year when we move back. I still hope to get my masters some day. It is so good to hear everyone is doing well and enjoying there jobs, it is still amazing that we are done and working nurses. And we started Ameritech off with a bang thats for sure. I think having hard working nurses to start with allows the next classes more job opportunities. Anyways the best thing about Vegas is the unions, I am not a member but they keep salaries up with great yearly raises. We have a few nurses who make around $42.00 and with the offered overtime and incentives they can make $80 an hour. It is sickening thats for sure, but hey if you ever want a change you can contract as a traveler for 13weeks make a ton of money and go partying at night. Good luck with everything and keep in touch
